Here’s Jessica Simpson in some promo shot for the TV show United States Of Tara . I’ve never seen the show, but judging solely on this picture it must be about a drag queen trying to make it in this world. Why can she just stand there and look sexy? This could also be an ad for a feminine hygiene product or stool softeners. At least they managed to contain her belly kinda nicely and she’s definitely distracting me with those big chubcakes of hers so all in all I like it.
A new government report says that the rates of HIV infection in infants are significantly higher among blacks and Hispanics than whites, and preventive measures are needed to reduce the disparity. Although the number of HIV-infected infants has declined overall, among black babies, the rate of perinatal HIV infection — meaning transmission at the time of birth — is 23 times higher than for whites, and among Hispanics, the rate is four times higher, according to findings published in the Feb. 5 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The average rate of perinatal infection in the United States is 2.7 per 100,000 live births, the report indicates. For blacks, the rate is 12.3 per 100,000; for Hispanics, 2.0 per 100,000; and for whites, 0.5 per 100,000. The researchers, who analyzed data from 34 states from 2004 to 2007, noted that transmission from an HIV-infected mother to her child can be significantly reduced through preventive measures. So what can we do to help? * Be sure that if you are single and sexually active, you protect yourself each and every time. Always use condoms and if pregnancy is not desired, seek medical attention and get on some birth control! * Make sure that if you are engaging in risky behaviors such as sharing needles and exchanging bodily fluids, you get tested regularly. * Primary HIV prevention in women is key and efforts should be specifically directed towards black and Hispanic women. All HIV-positive women who are pregnant should have access to quality health care and take advantage of preventive measures, including early treatment with antiretroviral medications, the report stated. * HIV infection should be diagnosed before or early in pregnancy * All moms-to-be should receive prenatal care * HIV-positive women should follow an antiretroviral medication regimen throughout pregnancy * A cesarean delivery should be scheduled at 38 weeks’ gestation if the virus has not been suppressed * Antiretroviral medication should be taken during labor and delivery * Newborns exposed to HIV should receive antiretroviral medication within the first hours after birth and for the first six weeks of life. As a community, we must do all that we can to change these statistics as our youth will someday lead us into the future. It’s vital to educate our children at an early age about the dangers around HIV/AIDS that continue to tear down Black communities. Let’s take the extra step and protect our culture and race against this plague that is killing our people. Related Articles: Should 11-Year-Olds Be Allowed To Pick Up Condoms And Have Sex?

Wow, for a second there we thought “they” were going to let this slide. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a controversial ‘birther’ bill on Monday night that would have required presidential candidates to submit a long-form birth certificate in order to be on the ballot. Approved in the state legislature last Thursday, the bill called for candidates to produce two or more qualifying documents in the absence of a long-form birth certificate, which include a “hospital birth record, early baptismal certificate, circumcision certificate, early census record or postpartum medical record signed by whoever delivered the child,” the Arizona Republic reported. The legislation was a clear attack on President Barack Obama, who has been the target of rumors he was not born in the United States since he began his first presidential campaign. Brewer, notorious for being a hard-line conservative, shot down the bill on Monday as going “too far” even for the red state. Brewer says: “I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their ‘early baptismal or circumcision certificates’…this is a bridge too far,” she said in a statement. “This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona.” President Obama took a second to brush the salt off his shoulders that these haters been throwing. “There’s been an effort to go at me in a way that is politically expedient in the short term for Republicans but creates I think a problem for them when they want to actually run in the general election, where most people feel pretty confident the President was born where he says he was, in Hawaii,” Obama said. Did this Negro just say “go at me”??? We LOVE it! We’re glad that Gov. Brewer is a decent Republican person and had enough sense to shoot down this stupid a** bill. Source
This guy is the worst. Donald “I Love Black People” Trump, who is “thinking about” running for President of The United States in 2012, brags on and on about his relationship with people of color: Today on the Fred Dicker radio show, Trump boasted of his relationship with the black community in a particularly, well, blunt way. “I have a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump said. “I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.” SMH…Oh really, Donald??

This afternoon while everyone was expecting President Obama to explain his plan for getting the United States out of its serious deficit problem they got the first speech of his reelection campaign. The president claimed his proposal would cut $4 trillion from the deficit in 12 years or less but instead of giving specifics of how he would do that, he provided a long list of what he would not accept….

The feeling may not be reciprocal here, but that’s nice at least. While out at The Grove in Los Angeles yesterday, a photographer caught up with Dr. Conrad Murray, who is awaiting involuntary manslaughter charges in the death of Michael Jackson, and asked about the late King of Pop’s offspring. His response: “That’s my children, I love them. I love them.” Dr. Conrad Murray: Man on the Street And this concludes your Dr. Conrad Murray update this week. It’s been fun. We’ll see if jurors show him similar love when his trial kicks off in late April.
Negotiations continue in an effort to forestall the great federal government shutdown of 2011, but both parties continue to dig in their heels in D.C. With all the rhetorical arguments, the finger pointing and buzzwords surfacing around this potentially cataclysmic event, it’s easy to get confused. It’s also crucial to stay informed about what really matters. Lucky for you, THG’s here. Here are 10 things you need to know about the impending shutdown, which will occur at midnight if no deal is reached: The President is the tanner of these two guys, but not by that much. Congress’ awesome 23 percent approval rating may REALLY tank! FEAR NOT, Congress will still be paid, though. Their staff? Nah. Planned Parenthood funding is involved. We’re not going there. The Bachelor host Chris Harrison is being sent in to mediate. You may actually get a reprieve from all that junk mail soon! 2011 is not 1995. No, seriously, it’s not. It’s 16 years later. The United States government can’t figure out how to cut spending, or raise taxes to pay for all that spending, or some combination thereof. Donald Trump will somehow use this to plug Celebrity Apprentice , tout his fiscal conservative credentials, and question Obama’s nationality. THG will remain open throughout any shutdown. Many services face lengthy interruption and an uncertain future, but not celebrity gossip .
